Comment 26 for bug 129041

My source for the "icons are less pixelated on the website" comment was http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=12210364&postcount=3 which preceded your version 282 by 3 weeks.

Thomas, I appreciate you maintaining xterm for the past 16 years, but I think you have a hard time understanding that xterm just isn't very popular today even among terminal users like I am.

I'm definitely not the only one that doesn't appreciate the xterm icons showing up in the default menus. See the attached Debian bug or http://blog.davekoelmeyer.co.nz/2012/06/30/xterm-on-ubuntu-12-04-manages-to-party-like-its-1989/ for instance.

The technical issue for this bug has nothing to do with how awesome xterm is, but how well integrated it is with the modern Ubuntu desktop (whether Unity, GNOME Shell, GNOME Classic, or XFCE).
